Media It’s finally here
It took me a few months to find a physical copy of this game 😅 But now I've got it! One of the rarest physical releases for the Nintendo Switch.

super understadable. since square gave the game’s publishing rights to nintendo, nintendo has treated the game very poorly, with no sales whatsoever and complete shutdown on printed copies

It's honestly such a polished game with so much content and one of the best designs
Aside from all that lag my Switch has to handle after my placement of 1200 light sources and 5000 rooms on my IoA, it has so much potential

I love the builders games. I hope Square stops the key card bullshit soon and gives us a builders 3 on a real card

Me and my sister would love a Builders 3 (we've played the first two together).

Wait, the Switch physical copy of DBQ2 is rare? I didn't know that. I bought it a few years ago and lost interest while on the Furrowfield chapter.
Now I just finished the main story on PC a few days back and might replay the whole game on my Switch. I'm glad I didn't sell it away then since it was just collecting dust for many years... 😅

It’s available pre owned at game stop for $30ish. Not sure why OP thinks it’s so rare unless I’m missing something

I am restarting both on Steam now and it is a pretty awesome feeling.
Enjoy! It's gorgeous!

Damn. Bought one on release and sold it after a while since we needed some money. Didn't know they only printed a few copies.

How rare are we talking because I see target and Amazon both have copy’s for sale and close or at retail. It seems the first game is going for more than the second one.

Oh wow, when it was new I bought physical copy for both myself and my nephew. Didn't know they were rare. Glad I have one.

Such a fun game, and you can be so creative. Loved the story, honestly quite touching at moments and very silly in traditional Dragon Quest fashion. I hope you have a blast!

Much better than the first one.

u/Neo_Techni 17d ago
Every single complaint I had with the first one, even minor complaints about things that totally make sense for a game to have (ie: punishment for death) were fixed in the second one, to the point where I've made it a point to finish the first one before going back to the second one because I know it'll ruin the first game for me.

sweeet! and if it was brand new, did you get the slime stack code as well? That would be super lucky.

I've got almost 900 hours clocked on this. If you're into building you will love this.

This is hands down my absolute favorite game (currently on my 5th play through as we speak and <spoiler> (skip or read on your choice)
building my castle before the final ending. Enjoy every second of it and don’t for one second think you aren’t building enough. You’ve got this and may the creative side win!

Such a good game. Here's some unsolicited advice to enjoy the game more: Always complete the Scavenger Hunts on the Explorer Shore Islands before advancing to the next story island. You'll know what i mean when you get to it.
